Difficulty Levels.
Introductory.
This level is designed primarily as a learning game. It is usually winnable for new players
because there is plenty of time for mistakes. The computer players are severely
disadvantaged in almost every variable in the game. Still, if you click buttons randomly,
or actively try to lose, you will eventually be defeated.

Easy.
Beginners may have a tough time playing on this setting. Even though there are
advantages, until a player really understands the game the computer AI is capable of
catching up and surpassing the human.
